Antrim / Antrim: William Gaston & Mary Olivet (Lemmon) Gaston
« on: Wednesday 23 March 11 21:27 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for information about William Gaston and Mary Olivet (Lemmon) Gaston; my 7th great grandparents.

They were the parents of Reverend Hugh Gaston (1706-1766) – 4th minister of Ballywillan Presbyterian Church in Portrush, Co. Antrim, Ireland.  William & Mary had eight children: Alexander (1702 – 1781), Rev. Hugh (1702 – 1766), John (1703 – 1782), Mary (1712 – 1802), Robert (1720 – 1787), Elizabeth Ann (1727 – 1813), Martha (1741 – 1826) and Matthew (1748 – 1799)-- all children eventually emigrating to America.

The following is what I think are true facts about William & Mary Gaston:

William Gaston
Born: 1685 in Cloughwater, Antrim, Ireland
Died: 1770 in Cloughwater, Antrim, Ireland

William Gaston was the son of:
John Gaston (Duke of Navarre) married Ester Naugh - born ?????
Birth 1645 in Melrose, Roxburghshire, Scotland
Death 1707 in Ballymena, Antrim, Ireland

William John Gaston (1645-1707) was one of three brothers who settled in Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland. The other two brothers were William Gaston, born in 1642, and Alexander Gaston, born about 1648.

Mary Olivet Lemmon
Born: 1688 in  Kilconway(?), Ireland
Died: 1752 in Cloughwater, Antrim, Ireland


Any further information about the children including possible baptism & marriage records and where William & Mary Olivet are buried; would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, George Gaston

Armagh / William McKell - Co. Armagh
« on: Thursday 17 March 11 01:40 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for relatives of my g-g grandfather, William McKell, born 1784. All the information I have is from his tombstone: "Scared to the memory of William McKell a native of County Armagh Ireland who died A.D. July 13th 1821 in the 37th year of his age." He is buried in Ebenezer Associate Reformed Presbyterian Churchyard cemetery (also known as Old Brick Church) in Jenkinsville, Fairfield County, South Carolina.

William McKell married Elizabeth "Betsy" Bell (1790-1842) in the Fairfield District, South Carolina, USA around 1812. They had three children: David (1813-1855), James (1815-1867) and Jane (1821-1880) - Jane was my great grandmother.

I notice there is no McKELL in the list of surnames; so any information or leads would be greatly appreciated. - George

Antrim / Cameron/Service - Ballymena, Co. Antrim
« on: Wednesday 16 March 11 12:27 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for information about my gg-grandmother, Mary Cameron, who was born about 1806 in Ballymena, Antrim, Ireland. Mary Cameron married Robert Service (b. 1805) from the same area. They had two children John (b. 1830) and Elizabeth (b. 1832). In 1838, they emigrated to America aboard the US ship "Star of New York" that sailed from Liverpool to New York... arriving on July 18, 1838. During the voyage, Mary Cameron gave birth to their third child, James Star Service, on July 5, 1838. I have a letter written by the captain of the Star verifying James birth and stating that since he was born under an American flag on an American ship... he was entitled to full privileges of a native American.

Once in America, Robert, Mary, John, Elizabeth & infant James joined Robert Service's brother, James, also born in Ballymena, Antrim, Ireland 1798 and his wife, Margaret Wilson, born Nov 25 1795 in Ballymena, Antrim, Ireland. James & Margaret had emigrated in 1825 though Charleston, South Carolina to Union District, South Carolina.

Any help or information on any of these relations would be most appreciated,

George
